Hello, thanks for your interest. To preserve the privacy of the homeowners, locations are private until the day of the tour, when ticket-holders exchange their tickets for brochures which detail the homes’ histories. Sounds as if you’re interested in Norwegian history, and of course Ballard has had lots of Norwegian (as well as other Scandinavian) immmigrants. We hope you can make it on June 23! Also contact us if you have other interests in Ballard history.

Would like to know what houses these are and if any of them were built by or owned by people of Norwegian descent. Thanks for the info. Christine

Oral history interviews are a great resource. Ole Blindheim who is in my post on “Fischer Farm in Meadowbrook,” was interviewed for the original book. He told of his adventures in Alaska and how a longing for fresh milk brought him back to Seattle and into the dairy business.
